Teen confesses to murders TBI: ‘He didn’t know why, he just got angry’ By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com COVINGTON – Jacob Brown, the 16-year-old who admitted to beating Ed and Bertha Walker, an elderly Munford couple, to death with an aluminum baseball bat last week was arraigned in Tipton County Juvenile Court on

Monday following his arrest Thursday in a Millington motel room. Brown allegedly said his motive for the murder was that he was “angry.” “The individual said he’d killed both subjects with a baseball bat in their residence,” said Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Agent Mark Reynolds. “He said he had

gone in the home previously to use the restroom.” Reynolds said Brown confessed to leaving the residence, then returning with the bat hidden behind his back and under his coat. He did not say whether Brown returned immediately. “He hit Mr. Walker first; he didn’t know how many times,” Reyolds said. “Then he said he pushed Mrs. Walker, she fell and he hit her with the bat numerous times.” Brown allegedly tossed the bat behind another residence, the home of a friend, on Wiley

Drive. Reynolds said the condition of the bodies was consistent with the confession. Also in the confession was Brown’s reason for the gruesome killings. “He said he was angry,” said Reynolds. “He didn’t know why, he just got angry.” The couples’ bodies were found by their daughter Myra on Tuesday, Jan. 18. Married for 61 years, the couple is parents to daughters Myra Millican and Christie Billings. One son, Randall E. Walker, predeceased them. They had five grandchildren

and five great-grandchildren. Mr. Walker was a veteran of the Army, serving in the Korean War, and was a captain for the fire department at NSA Millington. He is also the former owner of Walker Electronics, a television repair shop in Millington. Mrs. Walker was a homemaker and former department manager at Walmart. The two were members of Randolph United Methodist Church. On Wednesday, Jan. 19, Brown was apprehended at the Admirality Inn and Suites SEE TEEN, A3

SCHOOLS

Concern grows over threats Rumors of planned violence spreading at Munford High By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com Many parents of Munford High School students were worried Tuesday after hearing rumors firearms would be brought to school this week. The Leader was contacted by five parents who believe the plan was in retaliation to the arrest of Jacob Brown, a 16-year-old student who was arrested for the Jan. 18 beating death of Ed and Bertha Walker. The Tipton County Board of Education said the threat is not a “credible” one. Dr. Tim Fite, superintendent of schools, said investigating the threat to finding the source of the rumors was like “chasing a ghost.” Because the source cannot be determined – that is, the board doesn’t know who is making the threat – it is difficult to determine whether the threats are serious in nature. As a matter of precaution, each school has security procedures and plans in place for various types of incidents, Fite said. Munford High School, like many other schools in the county, has cameras in every hallway and in the parking lot as well. Students and parents who hear threats SEE THREAT, A3

Mayor reassures safety in Munford By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com MUNFORD – Following the brutal murders of an elderly couple on Wiley Drive last week, city officials want to reassure residents Munford is a safe place to live. On Tuesday, Jan. 18, the bodies of Ed and Bertha Walker were discovered badly beaten in their home. The following day, a 16-year-old was arrested and charged with their murder. In a city where only three murders have been recorded in recent history, giving residents a sense of safety is a top priority, mayor Dwayne Cole said. “We went door-to-door with police officers on Wiley Drive the other day to reassure them that we’re on top of it, that someone’s in custody. We wanted to let them know we’re as safe as we can be and let them talk if they needed to.” In recent years, Munford and Tipton County have been given accolades for low crime rates.

IN MEMORY

Celebrating a Starr-studded birthday By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com

ith a cheerful rendition of the happy birthday song and star-shaped sunglasses, the family of Starr Harris celebrated her 37th birthday Monday. But Starr, who was murdered last summer, wasn’t on Earth to celebrate with them. Instead, family and friends planned a balloon release at her gravesite in Poplar Grove Cemetery. “It just started passing around on Facebook,” said Starr’s stepson, Josh. “Some people are celebrat-

ing at their houses or at work, but people were asked to take pictures and put them on Facebook as their default photo.” The family planted dozens of red silk tulips at the gravesite in addition to bringing birthday cake, party hats and plates, a teddy bear, poster and star-shaped balloons. After singing happy birthday to Starr, balloons were released. Within two minutes, the balloons had disappeared into the gloomy clouds, symbolic of a life lost too soon. On the evening of June 1, 2010, Starr’s body was discovered in the woods behind her Richardson

Though the last seven months haven’t been easy for the family of Starr Harris, her husband Rick, who’s birthday was the day before Starr’s, said they’re taking life one day at a time.

Three weeks ago, Turner Dairy was awarded the first Dr. Louis G. Britt Corporate Citizenship award. Pictured (left to right) Erskine Gillespie, Community Development Coordinator, MSTF; Steve Turner, Dr. Ken Sellers, Medical Director, MSTF; Kim Van Frank, Executive Director, MSTF; Dr. Louis Britt, President, MSTF.

Dairy awarded corporate citizenship award On Friday Jan. 7, 2011 at 11 a.m., Dr. Louis G. Britt, Founder and Board President of Mid-South Transplant Foundation, presented Steve Turner of Turner Dairy Foods in Covington with the first Dr. Louis G. Britt Corporate Citizenship Award. Turner began their support of MSTF in 2006 when they launched MSTF’s MIC (Message in the Carton) Campaign by placing a donation message on the side panel of their milk cartons that would promote donation and drive readers to MSTF’s website. The slogan that year was “Be Strong So U Can Help Others to Live On” – Be An Organ and Tissue Donor. This campaign was a tremendous success and reached more than 700,000 area students and residents. They repeated this campaign during 2007, again impacting more than 700,000. In October of 2010 Turner, again partnered with MSTF to revise the MIC Campaign.

The slogan was changed to: “Ordinary People Do Extraordinary Things By – Being Organ and Tissue Donors.” Each campaign has had an impact that has exceeded that of the previous, for the 2010 campaign will impact more than a million area students and residents. Each of these costly campaigns has been launched by Turner Dairy Foods at no cost to MSTF. “Turner is a vital part of the Mid-South’s food industry, and MSTF is a vital part of the MidSouth’s healthcare industry – two very different corporations; however, Turner has found a way to use their resources to not only help strengthen MSTF, but to strengthen the community as well,” said Dr. Britt. “When we have a more informed body of people regarding a certain issue such as organ and tissue donation; we produce a healthier community; which results in an overall stronger population.” Turner Dairies was

founded by Peter A. Turner in Covington in the early part of the twentieth century. The five Turner brothers grew their family business through being civic minded and community oriented as they grew up delivering milk from a horse drawn wagon on their way to school each morning. The company continued to grow and in January 1946, Pete and Harry Turner pasteurized their first gallon of milk. Today what was once a small local dairy has now become a major dairy supplier in the region, and employs thousands. January 2011 marks the 65th anniversary of the company’s pasteurization process. As they celebrate this corporate milestone MSTF saluted Steve Turner and Turner Dairy Foods for staying true to the corporate philosophy of their founders: civic minded and community supportive. MSTF honored them with this prestigious Corporate Citizenship award on Jan.

Tax assistance again available at DSCC With the year-end wrap up, many people are beginning to receive their W2 tax forms to file with the Internal Revenue Service for the year 2010. Hiring a personal accountant, tax attorney and other online aids in filing tax forms can be expensive, which is why a program at a local community college exists to help people of lower income brackets. For the fifth year, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance sites at the Dyersburg State Community College Jimmy Naifeh Center in Covington and on the Dyersburg campus are providing free tax filing services for those area

taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes of less than $49,000. DSCC offers this service as a member of the Family Self-Sufficiency Alliance of West Tennessee. The Dyersburg VITA center, located in the Learning Resource Center, opened on Monday, January 24 and provides tax services Mondays and Thursdays from 5 - 7:30 p.m. through April 14. The VITA site at the DSCC JNC opened Monday, Jan. 24 and provides assistance Mondays and Wednesdays from 1 7 p.m. through April 13.

Especially when students have worn “Free Paco” -Dr. Tim Fite t-shirts to school on Monday. “Paco” is the nickname of Jacob Brown, the teen who confessed to beating the couple to death with an aluminum baseball bat. Fite said no matter the type of weapon or the nature of the threat, students and parents are encouraged to notify persons in charge. Identifying persons making threats is also helpful to investigators. “That’s the most helpful thing they can do,” he said. “We’re certainly going to make things safe for students.” The Tipton County Board of Education can be reached by phone at 901-476-7148. Threats may also be reported to local law enforcement agencies or, in an emergency, by calling 911.

tors will be taking part in this service. Preparing tax refunds is only one part of the assistance program since people can also receive consultations on taxes and financial literacy in general. “I do a lot of consulting with people,” said assistant professor Linda Ballard who has been part of the project since its inception. “This is a joint venture to be a service to the community and benefit lower income people and to promote financial literacy in the area.” Ballard grew up in Tipton County and said she enjoys participating in VITA and many

people come back year after year for the service. Lines of people waiting for consultations are to be expected after January when most people have received their W2 forms. So it is important that visitors prepare. It is also requested that people bring in photo I.D., a 1099 form found on the IRS website, their banking information and any information on a dependent they would like to claim. If a married couple wishes to file together then both of them need to be present to receive the service. DSCC joined the Family

SAFE

Continued from A1 magazine rated Tipton County the third safest county in the nation and in 2009, the bedroom community was named among the best affordable suburbs by BusinessWeek. In August 2009, 35-year-old Mika Jefferson of West Drive was dropped off at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Tipton and died a short time later. Two men have since been arrested in connection with his death, the cause of which has not been released. That was the only murder in Munford in recent memory until the Walkers were found dead in their home. As Cole says, it’s made residents uneasy. “We want to know we’re safe, we want to know it won’t happen again, we want to know the persons who are vulnerable are safe,” he said. “It’s what we all want.” Cole, who knew the Walkers, takes the murders personally. “It affects me personally, not only because I’m the mayor of this town and it’s a bad thing when tragedies such as these occur, but I’ve lived there. I started my family there. This is more personal for me because I knew them; they were my neighbors and my friends.” Cole said Wiley Drive is a community where the neighbors aren’t just close in proximity, but are also very tight-knit. He encourages residents all over the city to be more vigilant in watching out for one another. “If you see anything suspicious, please report it,” he said. “This is something that should not have happened. This is a quiet street.These were fine people.”

The friend lives at the residence where the murder weapon was left following the homicides. Brown has been held at the Shelby County juvenile facility since his arrest early Thursday morning. He has been charged with two counts of premeditated first degree murder, two counts of felony first degree murder and the perpetration of aggravated burglary. District Attorney Mike Dunavant cannot release much informa-

tion, but says he hopes to try Brown as an adult. According to state law, juveniles aged 16 years and older charged with murder can be tried as adults. No other charges have yet been filed, but the investigation is still ongoing, Dunavant said. In a press conference following the hearing, Dunavant thanked law enforcement agencies for working hard and in a timely fashion to investigate the murdersand locate the suspect. “I want to publicly thank the Munford Police Department and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation for their

outstanding efforts in investigation this case, in apprehending the juvenile suspect in a timely way and working hard around the clock in getting this case solved and reassuring the citizens of Munford and Tipton County regarding what turned out to be a pretty violent offense,” he said. Brown’s parents appeared in court Monday morning looking distraught and could be heard crying during the special agent’s testimony. Family members of Ed and Bertha Walker were also in court, one of them visibly upset as the Brown family left the

courtroom. With his ankles shackled, Brown came into the courtroom in a long-sleeved, pink button down shirt and blue jeans. He was quiet during the arraignment. Both families declined to comment on the case. During the hearing, it was determined Brown will remain in custody. A psychological evaluation will be conducted before the court will decide whether or not to try him as an adult.

'Ice storm paralyzes Tipton County'

The COVINGTON LEADER Feb. 16, 1994 Tipton County citizens woke up early Friday morning to the awful sounds of crashing tree limbs. They also woke up without electricity in all of the county and most of Covington. It already has been dubbed "The Ice of '94." This was the worst ice storm recorded in this area since February of 1951.

The varmint outsmarted me At one time or ’nuther, every country boy in the South has been on a ’coon hunt. It’s just part of growing up. You know the same as eating apple pie and riding in a Chevrolet. Just turn the dogs loose in the woods and boy, they’ll talk to you for miles and miles. You are trying to hang onto the flickering lantern, fight the sharp briars, with limbs slapping you in the face, while you are stepping in mud holes. But above all, listening to the music of the dogs as they are singing that beautiful, celestial music. When the dogs do get a ’coon treed, that’s the fun part. Now a ’coon is real smart, as he finds a tall tree that has got to have a hole about thirty feet straight up, so he can dart out ever so often, teasing the dogs and men. That ole ’coon will run out on the limb just long enough to let you know he’s there and jump back in the hole. Then he’ll stick his pretty little bandit looking face out of the hole, laugh and giggle at all of the hunters. There is a lot of talking Brian Blackley – Publisher/ General Manager bblackley@covingtonleader.com News Echo Day – Staff Writer eday@covingtonleader.com

I’ll admit I got a little curious to what Randy was doing under that heavy wash pot. So, I got me a two by four and jacked up that pot where I could get down on my knees, and peek under the pot and check out the activities. Now this curiosity came natural in our community as several folks were accused of being nosy, but their answer was; “just being concerned”. Guess it depends on how you look at it. I was too small to hold up that heavy pot to see under it, so I did the next best thing and blocked it up with a brick bat. It was dark and I couldn’t find Randy. Did he get out? There he is, or “Wuz”. He ran past me faster than a bootlegger being chased by guv’mint men. I done messed up bad and here comes Daddy… Glory!

Kidd earns Farm Bureau award A Tennessee tradition like no other, the Tennessee Farm Bureau Federation is now in its 89th year of service to members. From its beginning, volunteer leaders across the state have stepped up to guide and direct the organization through its storied history. During the 2010 annual convention five more outstanding individuals, one from each district, received the Distinguished Service Award for their com-

mitment and dedication to improving agriculture and rural life in Tennessee. For nearly thirty years Amy Kidd has been an active leader in Farm Bureau. She and her husband Eugene have both served on the Tipton County Farm Bureau Board of Directors since 1984. Mrs. Kidd has served as a strong supporter of the Farm Bureau Women’s Committee, serving as vice chair and chairman for many years.

TCCA news A night of fine dining and dancing is enjoyable by nearly everyone, yet not many get the chance to get out and partake in one. This year, the Tipton County Commission on Aging (TCCA) is urging community members to celebrate Valentine's Day in a uniquely grand manner this year. On Saturday, Feb. 12, the TCCA is holding its first Valentine's Day dinner, “A Night to Remember,” at the Covington Chamber Center on the court square. “We are very excited to do this,” said TCCA Executive Director Molly Egg. “We want to give the community an opportunity to celebrate Valentine's Day by providing a wonderful, local night out.” The semi-formal event is kicked off with dinner at 6 p.m. The menu will be developed and prepared by the executive chef team at Billings Bald Butcher. The TCCA is holding the event to raise funds in support of their numerous programs including Transportation and Helen's House. Tickets are available at the TCCA office at 401 South College Street in Covington. Those who are interested are urged to visit or call 901-4763333. Tickets for individuals are $65; for couples, they are $130; and for tables of eight, they are $500.

TAXES

Continued from A3 Family Self-Sufficiency Alliance of West Tennessee five years ago. The Alliance is active in promoting economic selfsufficiency and financial stability by hosting, with the IRS and AARP, free tax preparation sites throughout West Tennessee. The Alliance of West Tennessee was formed by the United Way of West Tennessee in cooperation with the Internal Revenue Service. Local

businesses, non-profit agencies, members of the faith-based community, and the public sector are all members of the Alliance. DSCC is a part by hosting the sites and recruiting volunteers to complete returns. In 2010, the DSCC VITA sites enabled 488 area residents to receive a combined total of $684,542 in tax refunds. Because of the local success it has had, DSCC plans on continuing the program.

Sunday School 9:00 am & 10:30 am

I watched a documentary recently on the life of Elvis. Many of the comments came from his daughter and wife and others who were very close to him. Elvis was one of the unhappiest people who ever lived. His daughter told of his diligent quest for purpose in life. He was a voracious reader. They showed a table filled with books that he had read on philosophy, religion, meditation, etc., in his search for the meaning of life. They were filled with copious notes. The one book I did not see among the many volumes and the only book that has the answer to the meaning of life is the Bible. Elvis sought fulfillment and purpose in life through worldly pleasures, in material possessions, in women and in prescription drugs. On one occasion, he volunteered to President Nixon to be a drug czar of sorts, to use his fame to speak out against the illicit drugs of his day. He saw the faults of others in using these drugs, yet he used (abused) prescription drugs and thought it was all right because they were prescribed. His unhappiness and his uneasiness about what he was to do with his life caused him much anguish. He could not sleep at night so he took drugs to make him

sleep. He could not wake up so he took drugs to wake up. He often took drugs before a performance because he was nervous and he thought they helped him perform better. His life was out of control. He tried to find happiness in helping others. He gave away 22 million to charities during his lifetime, a staggering sum in those days. In addition, he gave lavish gifts to friends and sometimes to perfect strangers but yet found no lasting contentment or peace in his philanthropic deeds. He helped so many others but they could not help him in return. No one would tell "the king" "no." No one would tell him he should not do something or try to check his self-destructive ways. He did not have the self-discipline to control himself. He could not stop the downward spiral in his life and ultimately it resulted in his untimely premature death. Solomon was a man with many similarities to Elvis. He was a king. He was blessed with great wealth. No one would tell the king "no." He had every pleasure imaginable. He sought diligently the meaning of life and his purpose for living. The book of Ecclesiastes is about this quest. Solomon discovered that the pur-

pose of life is not in wisdom and knowledge (Eccl. 1:17-18), not in pleasure and laughter (Eccl. 2:1-2), not in strong drink (Eccl. 2:3), not in works of his hands such as houses, gardens, pools, orchards, etc. (Eccl. 2:4-6), not in servants, maidens and possessions (Eccl. 2:7), and not in silver and gold and entertainment (Eccl. 2:8-9). Like Elvis, he sought the answer to life’s purpose in books, but they gave him no peace. Eccl. 12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. Of all these things that Solomon had and experienced, this is what he said. Eccl. 2:17 Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit. Even though he had all these things and had them in abundance, he hated life. Instead of finding joy, happiness and contentment in these things, he said they brought vanity or emptiness to his life. They brought vexation of the spirit like a grasping for the wind, something he never could obtain. Unlike Elvis, Solomon did find the meaning of life. Not only did he find it, he told us what it is and how we can have purpose

in our lives, too. The conclusion of Solomon’s quest for the meaning of life is found in the last two verses of Ecclesiastes. Eccl. 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. The purpose of life and what gives life true meaning is fearing (respecting, reverencing) God and keeping His commandments. The word “duty” is italicized meaning it is supplied by the translators and not in the original text. Leaving this word out I think gives us a truer understanding of what God really means. All of us are seeking a life that is whole, that is, complete, that lacks nothing. Solomon says this kind of life is only attainable by 1) fearing God and 2) keeping his commandments. He concludes his book with a sober warning, the reason we should fear God and keep his commandments. Eccl. 12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. Is your life whole? Are you looking for fulfillment in life, purpose in life? Then take it By Rick Huffman. He is an elder for the Gilt Edge Church of Christ located at 10726 Hwy 59 W, Gilt Edge.

Byars-Hall High School Alumni News man of the Friday evening reception that will be held on the lawn behind the Covington Country Club. A rain-out alternative will be determined later. I’m certain that Bruce has plans to make this the most memorable of all reunions. This will be a must to attend. Ken Smith, ’56, will chair the Saturday night celebration to be held at the high school gym. We are using the gym because it is the only facility that will hold our anticipated number. Bill Hadley, ’57, will offer his exhibit of BHHS memories and Harvey Lee Honey, ’57, will host the social time in the Chamber Center on Heritage Day. At some point, during the weekend, the historical marker will be dedicated. Please submit any ideas for entertainment and program enhancements to the alumni email address. The committee asks that mini-reunions by any individual class be held during the day Friday or on Sunday. Everyone is encouraged to participate in the planned reunion / celebration activities. Shirley Glass Young, ’51, is in charge of the outreach to the individual classes to promote their participation. Bob Young, ’52, will promote the event

By MACK EASLEY Class of ’55 Forty- five alumni met at Bozo’s for lunch on January 5. Stella Margaret Wilson Dixon, ’54, and Bobby Marshall, ’55, attended for the first time. It was great to have Robin Webb, ’58, well enough to join in. The next luncheon at Bozo’s will be Wednesday, March 2. Come around 11:30 for some extra visiting time with old friends. We were saddened to learn of the deaths of Mary Lou Farmer, ’57, Bernice Lackey Wood, ’55, Tissie Tanner Reeves, ’54, Jimmy Burlison,’53, Dorsey Robbins,’41, Larry Combs, ’57, Royce Wilson, ’57, Bobby Bradshaw, ’57, and George Howles, ’57, during the last month. Alumni are encouraged to report deaths and illnesses of other alumni to the newsletter’s e-mail address. The newsletter has around 30 new subscribers (most from the classes of ’60 and ’69) in the last month. The total on the distribution list is 340. Anyone part of a graduating class of BHHS is welcome to join that list by sending a note to bhhsalumni@aol. com. Everyone is asked to send news stories, pictures of current gatherings, pictures from the good ol’ days and suggestions for any BHHS activity (reunion, luncheon, newsletter, etc). The request for a BHHS historical marker has been submitted to the West Tennessee Historical Society seeking approval to have a marker placed for our alma mater. We expect approval around the end of January. At that time, we will send an email to those alumni on the newsletter’s distribution list asking for donations to fund the project. The total costs will be around $1,900 to $2,000. We have two donations of $100 each on hand. The reunion committee met on Dec. 27 and Jan. 5, to discuss the plans for having a centennial celebration of the founding of Byars-Hall High School in 1911. It will be held on Heritage Day weekend, Sept. 23 and 24, 2011. Bruce Gray will be chair-

through classmates.com. In addition to the newsletter’s and the leader’s notices, promotion will be “word-of-mouth” for the most part. We feel that it is impossible to mail registration forms to everyone. The registration form will appear in The Leader. It should be clipped, completed and mailed to the noted address. We ask everyone to make a couple of extra copies and mail them to our alumni friends. We want everyone associated with every graduating class of BHHS, to know that this celebration is occurring. This may be the only practical way to reach alumni spread across the country. So please help spread the word!

Barkelew named Munford/Atoka fire chief City officials of Munford and Atoka named Alan Barkelew as fire chief to the MunfordAtoka Fire Department. Barkelew began his duties as chief on Monday, Jan. 11. Munford Mayor Dwayne Cole stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alan brings over 40 years of firefighting experience to the community, maturity under stressful situations and displays the necessary leadership to develop the department into an elite force of trained firefighters. Atoka Mayor Darryl Walker had similar

praises for Barkelew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The skills and experience Alan brings to the position of fire chief are immeasurable. Chief Barkelew is known and respected by the firefighters and represents continuity in command within the force and in his service to the community.â&#x20AC;? Barkelew has been fighting fires since he was a student at Munford High School, when he ran from school to the water plant in downtown Munford to catch the fire truck. That was 1969.

Barkelew has served consistently with the Munford-Atoka Fire Department ever since and considers it a vocation, a calling to serve. Alan rose to the position of commander of the Munford-Atoka Fire Department, the second highest rank in the battalion. When asked of his goals for the MunfordAtoka Fire Department, Barkelew responded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to have a smooth and transparent transition and to maintain the same high level of excellence put into place by former fire chief Jay Bonson.â&#x20AC;?

Chief Alan Barkelew

Bonson left the position to fulfill a goal of working at the fire academy in Bell Buckle, Tenn. Barkelew added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;of course, I am looking forward to the completion of the new fire house in

Munford and what it will mean for the firefighters and their ability to serve the community.â&#x20AC;? The City of Munford was awarded a $1.8 million dollar American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Assistance to Firefighters Station Construction Grant in October 2009. Bids opened on Thursday, January 20 in the conference room at Munford City Hall. Work on the new facility will begin thereafter.

Patriot Bank recognizes Simpson

White's art featured at DSCC with niece By TIFFANY HOLLAND tholland@covingtonleader.com

A 99-year-old artist's work being displayed at Dyersburg State Community College in an ongoing effort to increase the art in the community. Along with Ashley Kuhn, a photographic exhibit from Mahaffey White will be featured for the next few months. White is a Memphis artist who is still working in the art world though she is nearly 100 years old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is a former art teacher I have known her for a while,â&#x20AC;? said Tipton County Art League promoter Barbra McBride. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is 99 and is still going strong and having arts shows.â&#x20AC;? Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work focuses on the use of the camera. Cameras are available to everyone, which means anyone can be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;picture taker.â&#x20AC;? For the nonprofessional, a wish to bring the vacation home may be the motive, or the record of a child growing up, or someone dear, al-

ways to be remembered as he or she appears in a photograph. The artist uses the camera differently, like a tool or a brush or a torch. Each tool has its own limitations and creative possibilities. This is the way White perceived and used the camera for all of her art shows. With black and white photography, she approaches it as a printmaker, as if cutting a linoleum or wood black, or etching copper plate. Photography is itself a printmaking medium. Using color photography was different for her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think as a painter, especially so with the flower studies shown in this exhibition, I think quite differently (than with black and white),â&#x20AC;? said White. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I consider the brilliance and beauty of color, as well as the lines and shapes as they interact within the composition. I often add a bit or snippet of another color print, as in Pardon Cezanne.â&#x20AC;?

Framed photographs in the DSCC student lounge by MahaďŹ&#x20AC;ey White. The 99 year old artist is one of many featured in the college's exhibitions this year.

White is pleased with her photographic show since setting up and photographing these studies is her way of producing so much art. She is also always thankful for her former colleague and photography teacher, Patti Lechman and her good eye for curating her exhibitions. She is sharing this particular exhibition at DSCC with Ashley Kuhn, who is Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great niece. This is all in part of DSCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to increase artistic creativity

in the community. This is the third of five exhibits that will be featured at the campus this year. There will be a reception specifically to showcase the art in March, but anyone can go to the DSCC campus lounge to view the artwork. For more information on these exhibits, people can contact Barbara McBride at the Tipton County Art League at 476-9706.

Fouls abound as Chargers down Cougars CHS defense swarms Cougars, causes 36 turnovers in 10-point win By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader Covington’s Dion Real had to wonder if he would have any players left after the first quarter of Saturday’s Munford-Covington tilt at Castellaw Gym. CHS’ Jawan Alston was whistled for two infractions almost before he could lace up his shoes. Dexter Moore had three fouls by the half and the Chargers racked up 25 of the 40 whistles blown in the game as CHS staggered to a 52-42 win over their in-county AAA rivals. The Chargers ran out to a 13-5 early lead due to their swarming defense, which caused 10 first quarter turnovers and a

total of 36 in the game. CHS uncharacteristically committed 22 TOs of their own. Leading 19-10 at the end of the first, CHS appeared poised to run away and hide but the turnover bug bit them as well. A 14-2 Cougar run pulled MHS into a 24-24 tie with 20 seconds remaining in the half but the Chargers closed on a pair of threes from Adrian Frost and Demetres Clabon to go to the break up 30-24. They would not be caught. Neither team generated much offense in the second half with the Cougars managing only 18 points and the Chargers a mere 22. CHS was cold from the floor most of the night but did hit on

seven shots from beyond the three-point arc. The Cougars hit on three three-point attempts. Munford hurt itself at the free throw line hitting on only 13 of 23 attempts for 56 percent. The Chargers’ woes at the line continued as they hit only 7 of 13 shots for 54 percent. Munford’s Kindall Walker was the game’s leading scorer with 12 points. James Huddleston added 10 for the Cougars. Carnelius Edwards led the Chargers with 10 points. No other Covington player scored in double figures. CHS improved its record to 14-3 for the season. Munford is 5-12 for the year overall. Individual scoring: Munford: Kindall Walker- 12; Tate Mennis- 4; Cedric Williams- 6; Anton Smith- 6; James Hud-

Tipton-Rosemark Academy came up with a key DII-AA win Monday night at home with a 65-64 win over Harding Academy. An incredible fourth quarter was the story for TRA. Trailing by 15 after three quarters, TRA won the fourth period 29-13 to come up with a second straight win over Harding County. J.T. Moody and Kevin

Sansom were the story for Rosemark. Each player finished with 18 points to finish off the comeback for the Rebels, which moved to 9-8 overall and 5-2 in league play. Zach Barnes finished with 12 points for the Rebels. Wilson Prestage added eight points and Brandon Spence finished with seven. Harding’s Matt Brown helped Harding build its lead with 25 points, but it wasn’t enough. TRA will host Jackson

Christian Friday night. In girls action, Harding Academy got 27 points from Kaylah Keys in a 6224 Lady Lions win. Harding built a 21-7 lead after one quarter and never led TRA back in the game. Courtney Ankebrant led TRA with nine points and Julianne McCommon added six. TRA fell to 3-15 with the loss and 1-6 in league play. Harding improved to 11-6 and 7-1.

Lady Chargers Lady Cougars pick up second league win squeak past Munford, 54-52 By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com

By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader This game last Saturday was not for the offensive minded. Neither team had scored in the first two minutes. Covington did not get a bucket until Nykie Grandberry dropped a two point shot at the two minute mark. The Lady Chargers made only three shots from the floor in the period and the quarter ended in a 7-7 stalemate. Although the pace picked up a little in the second quarter, it was not fire starting. The teams went to the locker room with CHS on top 24-22. Both teams had protected the ball well in the first half with Munford committing seven turnovers and CHS only five. Covington stepped up the pressure in the third forcing 12 Munford giveaways helping the lead to expand to 10 at quarter’s end at 36-26. The Lady Chargers had redeemed themselves from their terrible free throw shooting performance against Brighton knocking down almost every shot until the fourth period. The worm turned in the final stanza and it almost cost them the game. After having scored only four points in the previous quarter, the Lady Cougars exploded 26 in the final stanza essentially on the inspired play of sophomore Kelsey Briggs whose 26 points led all scorers. Covington could not handle Briggs as she slashed her way to the hole repeatedly to score

drawing fouls along the way. She was deadly at the line as well connecting on 10 of 12. Meanwhile, the Lady Chargers, given ample opportunity to keep Munford at bay at the line missed on eight of 13 free throw attempts in the final period. After Munford’s Alex Turner had nailed a three-pointer with 57.9 remaining to cut the CHS lead to 52-54, Precious Harvey dropped two of four free throws in the final minute after a Munford miss and foul to seal the win. The Lady Chargers forced Munford into 24 total turnovers while committing 15 of their own. The Lady Cougars were a very respectable 12 of 15 at the line for 80 percent. CHS was 23 of 35 for a somewhat improved 67 percent. Aside from Briggs, Turner was the only other Lady Cougar in double figures with 10 points. Precious Harvey had a season high 18 points for CHS. She was nine for 11 at the line. Iesha Carruthers also had 18 for Covington. The Lady Chargers improved to 12-7 while Munford’s record fell to 8-10. Individual scoring: Munford: Lauren Zvolanek- 2; Shayliah Wiggins- 3; Kelsey Briggs26; Kierra Webb- 6; Alex Turner- 10; Tara Comer- 5 CHS: Kamesha Vanpelt- 4; Charlette Payne2; Ke’Suana Griggs- 1; Precious Harvey- 18; Nykie Grandberry – 8; Iesha Carruthers- 18; Janeika Mason- 3

Following a loss last week, Munford Lady Cougar basketball coach Steve Poindexter said his team was going to take the next few weeks to get better in preparation for tournament time. His team appeared to take a step in that direction Monday night at home with a 39-30 District 13-AAA win over Dyer County. “I’m seeing progress,” said Poindexter, whose team moved to 9-10 overall and 2-3 in district play. “Right now, if we’re not out there fighting, we don’t have enough talent to just go out there and win. We’ve got to play hard every night.” The Lady Cougars got off to a slow start Monday night, falling behind Dyer County 7-5 after

one quarter. But Munford picked up the pace in the second period, winning it 15-8 and taking the third quarter 10-3 to build a double digit lead that the Lady Choctaws were never able to make up. Munford led by as much as 15 in the fourth quarter before Dyer County made some shots late to make the game look closer than it actually was. Sophomore Kelsey Briggs had a big game for the Lady Cougars, leading all scorers with 13 pointes. Alex Turner, another sophomore, came up big on the perimeter, finishing with 11 points. Tara Comer worked the paint for six points. Tara Webb led Dyer County with nine points. Munford, currently in fourth place in league play, can still finish as high as second in the dis-

trict. Jackson North Side, which the Lady Cougars play Friday night, is 6-0 in league play. Brighton and Hardin County are 3-2, while Dyer County is 0-5. The Lady Cougars were strong on the boards throughout the game,

limiting Dyer County to just eight offensive rebounds. “The kids are working hard,” Poindexter said. “I thought we did a pretty good job. They played a lot of zone. It wasn’t a fast-paced game. We were pretty patient on offense.” The Munford boys weren’t as successful, falling to a very strong Choctaw team, 84-54. Munford was only down by five after one quarter, but Dyer County won the second quarter 22-8 to take control and move to 21-2 (6-0 district) on the season. Andre Bell led the Cougars with 10 points. Kendall Walker added nine and Reno Ealy and Cedric William each scored six. Munford fell to 5-11 on the season and 1-4 in district play.

Chargers stop Haywood for season sweep By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader The third ranked Covington Chargers continued their roll through District 13 AA with a 73-59 win over the Haywood Tomcats at Haywood on a snowy night last Tuesday. The Tomcat’s flashy guard, Jamarcus Comage, threatened to melt the snow as he blazed his way to 11 first quarter points on the way to a game high 28. He kept Haywood in the contest in the early going as they led, 18-16, at the end of the first quarter. A renewed emphasis on defense by the Chargers,

three bombs from beyond the arc from CHS’ Demetres Clabon and a 9-0 run mid-period staked the Chargers to a 30-23 lead in the second quarter. It was a lead that they would not relinquish. The Chargers added four more to the margin in the third period despite 12 more from Comage in the frame. He was matched by 11 from Clabon who had 25 on the night to lead CHS, his best outing of the year. Clabon had five of CHS’ eight made three-pointers in the game. CHS led y as many as 16 in the third. As had happened in Covington, the big lead

began to evaporate, but CHS cut the run off at five points. Haywood cut the margin, 57-52 at the 5:30 mark, but Charger free throws and strong defensive play saved the day to secure the win. The Chargers were nine of 14 from the line in the final frame with Bernard Hurd going 4/4 and Clabon 2/2 to close it out at the stripe. In addition to Comage, two Haywood players reached double figures, Tarc Hughes had 14 points and Dewayne Turner added 10. Two Chargers also put up double numbers. Devin Wakefield and Dexter Moore each had 13

points for CHS. Covington forced 17 Haywood turnovers. Covington gave the ball up 12 times. The Tomcats shot 50 percent at the stripe hitting on 7 of 14 attempts. The Chargers were marginally better at the line shooting 65 percent making 17 of 26 at the line. Covington improves to 16-3 (11-0) with the win. Haywood falls to 7-10 (55). CHS will host Gibson County on Jan. 28 on Senior Night. They travel to Brighton on Jan. 29 and Munford on Jan. 31. The Chargers will play a crucial District 13 AA contest at Dyersburg on Feb. 1.

Now time to focus on turkeys and bass fish

After Tennessee deer season is over and close the hunting emphasis transferred back to the small game of squirrels, rabbits and quail. The dogs are out and running. The rifles have been cleaned and maybe not put away because there is always varmint (coyote) hunting that is open year round. But right now, the rifles have been traded, for the most part, to shotguns. And you can trap small game such as bobcat, fox, mink, muskrat, opossum, otter, raccoon, spotted skunk, striped skunk, weasel until Feb. 28. According to the Jackson office, there is a daily hunting limit of one bobcat per day but it is not limited on trapping the animal. Statewide Wild Turkey season will start on April 2 through May 15.

There is a wide youthonly hunt (ages 6 -16) on March 26 and 27. The bag limit is one bearded turkey. Yo u n g h u n t e r s WILDLIFE CHATTER A RNOLD B ULL must be accompanied by an adult 21 years of age of older who has to be in a position to take immediate control of the hunting weapon. A state wide bag limit for season is one bearded turkey per day not to exceed four turkeys per season. Turkeys take on quota hunts are considered bonus birds.

Some turkey hunters use chalk on their box calls to increase friction but experts say it is not needed on a properly tuned call. In damp weather, chalk acts as a sponge, absorbing moisture that can gum up your call. This dampens the ringing tone of a good box call. If your call is constructed from good quality wood, the call will actually sound better without chalk. In 1968, a man named Ray Scott made fishing history by founding B.A.S.S. (Bass Anglers Sportman Society). He managed their fishing tournaments, including the weigh ins, and put bass fishing and bass fishermen on the map. He made it into a professional sport. About 10 years ago, he sold BASS to someone else and now they have sold BASS to some

private investors. Scott is happy in that he thinks and believes the new investors will return to the basic grassroots fisherman and ways that made them famous in the first place and he just might be right. Feb. 18-20 in New Orleans, Louisiana, there will be a Bassmasters Classic. Fifty anglers will compete for the championship title and $500,000 top prize. This is what is called the Super Bowl of Bass Fishing and it will be the third time that New Orleans has been the host city. With deer season over, store your black powder rifles muzzle end down.

Haywood upends Lady Chargers By STEVE HOLT Special to The Leader

Maybe it was the 4 p.m. tip-off necessitated by the snowstorm or the some other disruption, but something was in the Covington Lady Charger’s Gatorade on Tuesday afternoon as they were completely out of sync on the way to a 5944 drubbing at the hands of the Haywood Lady Tomcats. It was a one-point game with Haywood ahead after one period, 13-12. Covington had problems getting back on defense and the Lady Tomcats pushed the ball hard up court repeatedly scoring in the paint while gathering in numerous

offensive rebounds. CHS took a 23-21 lead with 1:30 remaining in the second period only to see Haywood reel off nine straight to take a 30-23 halftime lead. They would not trail again. Three Lady Charger turnovers in the first minute of the third period led to six Lady Tomcat points and a 15-0 run that spanned the halftime break pushing the Haywood margin to 13. At its widest, the Haywood lead would grow to 16 as the Lady Chargers combined turnovers and missed free throws to lose their fifth District 13 AA game of the year. Haywood’s Chelsey Owens was the game’s

leading scorer with 22 points. Ida Parrish added 10 for the Lady Tomcats. No Lady Charger managed to reach double figures. Iesha Carruthers led the way for CHS with nine points. CHS forced 16 Haywood turnovers while CHS turned the ball over 21 times. Both teams were equally poor at the free throw line with Haywood hitting on 17 of 33 attempts (51 percent) and CHS making only 13 of 31 shots (42 percent). The Lady Tomcats improve to 9-8 (4-6) with the win. CHS falls to 12-8 (6-5). Covington enters a busy stretch beginning Friday with 4 games in 5 days. They host defending State AA Champion Gibson County Jan. 28 at 6

p.m. This is Senior Night for CHS. Covington then travels to Brighton on Jan. 29 and Munford on Jan. 31. Both games tipoff at 6 p.m. They return to District 13 AA play at Dyersburg on Feb. 1 with tip-off at 6:30 p.m. Individual scoring: HAYWOOD: C. Owens- 22; A. Peeples- 9; C. Reid- 4; I. Parrish- 10; L. Sutherland- 8; T. Jackson6 CHS: Kamesha Vanpelt- 7; Charlette Payne- 4; Ke’Suana Griggs- 7; Precious Harvey- 4; Nykie Grandberry- 4; TaSheena Adams- 5; Iesha Carruthers- 9; Demiah Eaton2; Janeika Mason- 2

‘Connecting You to South Tipton County’

SECOND THURSDAY luncheon was held at Marloʼs Down Under on Thursday, Jan. 13.

Cooking with Claudia

Students of the Month

“The recipes for this week were used for our January First Friday Coffee. In my search for new recipes, I try to find techniques that can be used in several different ways. I especially like a recipe when I can change it around and have a savory dish as well as a sweet dish. My niece spent eight weeks in Italy this past summer. Her host family served Nutella all the time. Lauren said Nutella practically saved her life when she ran short on money. She raved so about Nutella that I wanted to use it in some way. The original recipe did not call for orange marmalade, but the taste of Nutella was just too sweet for me. I thought the addition of the marmalade would cut some of the sweet and I know orange and chocolate are perfect with each other.”

Nutella Roll-ups 1 pkg Puff Pastry Nutella Sliced almonds Orange marmalade Powdered Sugar Make sure the Puff Pastry is completely thawed. Place the pastry sheet on a floured board. Roll to make sure the seams are sealed. (Crescent roll dough sheets can also be used). Spread the Nutella on the pastry sheet, leaving about ½ in border. Sprinkle nuts over Nutella. Beginning with the long side, roll up the pastry (like a jelly roll). Slice the pastry into ½ in. pieces. Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon ½ tsp.orange marmalade on top of each roll. Bake – 350 degrees for about 15 min. or until the pastry is brown. Let cool. Sprinkle with powered sugar.

“This next recipe “Mushroom-Garlic Cream Tartlets” was a surprise to me. I knew the ingredients all sounded really good but I just wasn’t sure how it was going to taste. I thought it was great. I realize it is not for everyone, but if you need to serve a light appetizer this one might just do the trick!!”

Mushroom-GarlicCream Tartlets 2 T butter 1 8oz. pkg fresh mushrooms, finally chopped 1 T all- purpose flour 1 T finely chopped onion 2 cloves, garlic, finely chopped ½ cup whipping cream ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese 2 pkgs of the phylo tart shells (found in the freezer section by pie crust) Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter. Add mushrooms, flour, onion and garlic; mix well. Cook about 5 min. stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender. Add cream and cheese, mix well. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Spoon 1 heaping teaspoon into each tart shell. Sprinkle with additional parmesan cheese. Bake 9 to 12 min. or until golden brown. Serve warm. “I am always searching for new and different recipes for breakfast or brunch. If you have one that is a little different, uses some unusual ingredients or is just “to die for”, please sent it to me at claudia@southtipton.com . If I use it at one of our 1st Friday Coffees, I’ll share it with all our readers in our South Tipton Chamber Newsletter. Thanks for all the support you have given me and for the encouraging comments.

Hi everyone, Pajamas, pajamas, pajamas. I guess I really am getting older since this week was my birthday. I just cannot see where people get off wearing their pajamas everywhere they go. At first, I felt so sorry for them. It did not take me long to realize they are happy doing this. I finally even saw a boy wearing his in Walmart. I have not approached any of them yet. It's probably just a fad. I remember the mini skirts when I was a teenager. My dad wouldn't let me wear them. But on occasion I snuck around and did. So fads do pass. The

pajamas are less disturbing than the mini skirts I suppose. I also remember when girls did not wear jeans. These days everyone wears them. Well, finally the temperatures gave us a little break. However, now they are saying more freezing weather and possible more snow. I hope they are wrong. I'm still waiting on those bright days of sunshine ever day. I told someone at McDonald's I was ready for those 100-degree days and he said, “Let's settle for the 80s.” I said, “Okay. That would be great right now too.” Neighborhood Watch Our next meeting for Almyra will be Feb. 3 at 6:30 p.m. located at Three Star Fire Department. We

Greetings, We got it again! Only this time it didn't hang around as long. More snow is what I am referring to. Although it melted sooner than last time, boy, it sure did get cold there for a while on Friday night and early Saturday morning. However, by mid-day Saturday, it felt rather pleasant. Enough to able you to go out briefly without a heavy coat on. Saturday, Jan. 22 was my Uncle Lewis Franklin Jones Sr.'s funeral which was held beautifully over at St. Mark M.B. Church in Drummonds. Pastor Keith McGee received our family beautifully. Aunt Bessie Jones Sneed and her family are members there, she's Uncle Franklin's youngest sister. His home church is St. Mark AME in Munford. Due to the large capacity of the crowd, St. Mark M.B. and Pastor McGee were lovely hosts. The entire Jones family, including Rev. James Wilbert Jones, associate pastor at St. Mark AME and younger brother of Uncle Franklin take off their hats in thanks to them and also to Jefferson Mortuary of Millington for their lovely services provided. Several dear friends spoke comforting words of our dear Lewis Franklin Jones Sr., including Rick Huffman and Dr. John R. Nichols along with Gloria Jones and Rev. James Jones Sr.,

former pastor of St. Mark AME. Dear friends of our family, Rev. Patsy Brown of Memphis spoke along with Rev. Ronnie Porter, pastor at St. Matthews M.B. Church with current St. Mark AME Pastor Dave L. Adams Sr. of Memphis who gave a superb eulogy from “God's Chosen Man” (1 Sam. 6:1-13). Uncle Franklin jones is best known around Munford and outlines areas as “Frank's Bar-B-Que.” And boy, anyone will tell you he did bar-b-cue very very well! R.I.P. Uncle Frank. And let us continue to keep his six sons, Franklin Jones Jr., Jerry, Eddie Jones Sr., Leon jones, Michael and Bryan Jones and their families in our prayers. It was lovely seeing my beautiful sweet cousin, Inez Harris of Millington on Saturday also. Not only is she a doll, she's just as sweet! My Aunt Lucille Burton Wright and Daughter, Doris Deberry along with my Uncle Daniel came for Saturday's services from Milwaukee to be with the Jones family. His late wife Susie Burton Jones was their sister. Also down were our aunt and uncle from east St. Louis, Leslie and Marveline (Burton) Lee and their oldest daughter Belinda Lee.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Baptistâ&#x20AC;? \o â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baptistâ&#x20AC;? church known for its extreme stance against homosexuality and its protest activities. It is headed by Fred Phelps and consists mostly of members of his large family. This church is located in Topeka, KS. It is not AFFILIATED with any other Baptist conventions or associations. By their own count, WBC has conducted over 30,000 pickets, in all 50 states and in over 500 cities and towns. Their travel budget exceeds $200,000 annually. This group came into the national spotlight in 1998, when they was featured on CNN for picketing the funeral of Matthew Shepard, a young man from Wyoming who was beaten to death by two men because of his homosexuality. Westboro has protested the funerals of among others, Fred Rogers (Mr. Rogers), Coretta Scott King and Jerry Falwell. Among the many funerals picketed are American soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Fred Phelps was quoted as saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our attitude toward whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening with the war is that the Lord is punishing this evil nation (America) for abandoning all moral impera-

tives that are worth a dime.â&#x20AC;? They are also quoted as saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;These soldiers are Burning in Hellâ&#x20AC;?. They do and say all that they do under the guise of their right to the first amendment to the Constitution or Freedom of Speech. Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m all about some free speech, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard it put this way â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your right to swing your fist (freedom of speech) ends where my nose (harassment) begins. In 2006, Westboro picketed the funeral of Albert Snyderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, Matthew Snyder, a Marine, who was killed in Iraq, with banners saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;God hates fagsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank God for dead soldiers.â&#x20AC;? Westboro is currently in a legal fight with the father, Albert Snyder, over the picketing which is headed to the Supreme Court. These people quote the bible in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faces, but all they quote is hatred and judgment. I believe the bible says â&#x20AC;&#x153;Judge not lest you be judgedâ&#x20AC;? and Jesus said â&#x20AC;&#x153;The greatest commandment is this, that you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind. The second is like the first, that you should love your neighbor as yourselfâ&#x20AC;?.

Westboro, where is your LOVE? The last I heard they traded the picket of Christina Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funeral (the nine year old innocent child killed in Tucson) for some media time. Westboro says that their goal is to win souls to God. You can form your own opinion. I already know what mine is. Thanks for reading and have a good week.

and Theary Alston. This is it for this time. It's a wrap! Remember, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our lives should be fashioned as a tree, deeply rooted and firmly planted, striving always to bring forth comfort as well as beauty!â&#x20AC;? Until next time...

Hello from Burlison. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m about to write about something that might be very controversial, but I bet the majority of the readers will have the same opinion as me on this subject. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t guess thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anyone in The United States thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not aware of and grief stricken about the shooting attack that took place in Tucson, AZ a few weeks ago. Six people were killed and 13 injured. The dead included a nine year old victim that was born on September 11, 2001. I know that your thoughts and prayers are with all the victims of that shooting, as are mine. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been watching the reports about Congresswoman, Gabriel Giffords youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll agree with me that her ongoing recovery is miraculous considering the fact that she was shot in the head at close range. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many of you have heard about Westboro Baptist Church, but their plans were to picket all funerals of the victims. The Westboro Baptist Church is an independent HYPERLINK â&#x20AC;&#x153;http://

Roy Randolph received good news that his cancer has not returned but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still on the ventilator with pneumonia in a Memphis hospital. He, Kenneth Mason, Bonnie Holbrook, John Evans IV and Larry Whaley II are on our prayer list, as well as so many others in our church and community.

Elaine Watkins Well, we got our second measurable snowfall Thursday, bigger than the one two weeks ago! Another chance of something tonight, but small chance. A very cold winter! Elizabeth, Lyla and I did some shopping on the Square Saturday, then came back here and made crockpot lasagne. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never done it, just cook your meat then layer everything in your crockpot, noodles uncooked, and cook on high for 4 hours. Easy-peasy! We had a nice afternoon. Lyla claps her hands now when you say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yay!â&#x20AC;? She was nine months old last Thursday! They went home to cook fish and my dad, Kenneth Weir, came over for supper, enjoying the lasagne! Our freezer died, even got hot enough to have burned a couple of places on the linoleum under it and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know it. Stuff just about thawed but we saved it and got

January 26th to Kenny and Lisa Pinner! This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stray White Lab Report: Mattie had nine puppies during the night Saturday, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d drug her blanket outside the house to have them, and five of them died. And one is definitely not a lab, even though we thought the daddy was, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s black and white spotted like a Dalmatian! Hmmm . . . The others are solid black and all are as cute as can be! My sincere sympathy goes to Pam Merritt and Phil Merritt in the death of their mother, Helen. We were all neighbors for years; she was a fine woman and friend. She will be missed. They have my prayers. Sympathy also goes to the family of Royce Wilson, who was the owner of WKBL Radio here for so many years. Bonnie, Don and Todd have my prayers as well as the family and all the friends of another great Tipton Countian and farmer Charles â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chiliâ&#x20AC;? Southall.

UT Martin specialists to receive endorsements MARTIN, Tenn. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Reading is the foundation for learning every subject, and educators know that success in reading makes academic success easier to attain. A University of Tennessee at Martin online reading specialist program offers a convenient alternative for educators who want to learn as much as possible about teaching reading. The first students in the program will receive their endorsements in

May. Dr. Beverly Hearn, UT Martin associate professor of education and program director, said some educators received their training before new reading techniques were developed and want to update their skills and others would like to work with their peers as a reading coach to help increase reading achievement and teacher satisfaction in their own schools. Still other experienced

teachers are ready for a change and would like to work exclusively with struggling readers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also chose the reading specialist program specifically because I wanted to branch out into a different area of education. My bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree is in music education.â&#x20AC;? She added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have always had a love for reading and English. The reading specialist program interested me

because I love helping students and knowing that what I do really does make a difference.â&#x20AC;? The reading specialist program can be taken as a stand-alone endorsement, or the reading block can be integrated into the Master of Science in Education-Interdisciplinary. For more information about the program, contact Hearn at bhearn@ utm.edu or 731-881-7197.

graduates and those in attendance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know the drill,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Wamp in letting his audience know he intended to be brief in his commencement remarks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To the families, this is your day and this is your investment.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be bold and have courage,â&#x20AC;? said the congressman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seventy percent of success is having the guts to stick with it, and the other 30 percent is preparation.â&#x20AC;? Having recently retired from eight terms in the House, Wamp said life

in Washington has made him keenly aware of the ministry of presence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be present because people matter,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With Twitter and Facebook, there are people who get in their Blackberries, but not in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives. The only wealth we really have in life is the wealth of relationships we have with people.â&#x20AC;? He concluded by championing graduates to become â&#x20AC;&#x153;people of reconciliation,â&#x20AC;? and said that each one is important. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are counting on you to keep what we

have and keep things going. Step up and step forward.â&#x20AC;? Founded in 1851, Carson-Newman College is recognized as one of the best liberal arts colleges in the South by U.S. News & World Report.
